A quick real world test of mobility & flexibility that, were you to do it every day, would offset substantial age related decline in your mobility, balance and flexibility. Can you do the Put On (& Tie) Your Socks and Shoes While Standing Test? @trainer2thepros on Huberman Lab

if you think uncomfortable conversations are hard wait until you see the results of not having them

Explained: the UFO that seems to fly around a wind farm and change direction with no visible means of propulsion

A video that some call impossible to explain actually has a very plausible explanation. But you might not like it.

It's probably a balloon.

Here is a 3rd option. I went thru 2 instances of tendonitis (painful, not fun) and 2 years of recovery and being unable to draw to figure this out

Yes it involves money, but it's much cheaper than fixing injury. You can still use a screenless tab this way by using a laptop mount

I am totally committed to getting a standing desk.

This conversation with Kelly Starrett convinced me.

Sitting isn't necessarily bad. Standing (and more movement in general) is good. But desks give you almost no movement options. So how can we create more movement choice during the workday?

If you have a standing desk, it helps to make it an actual movement station. That means having something to put a foot on so you can shift your pelvis and spine out of the same static position, and ideally a bar stool or perch so you can lean, sit, prop a foot up, or change positions easily.

That’s the real benefit of a good desk setup. Not that you’re standing all day, but that you’re no longer locked into one posture.

From the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast with @thereadystate.

@summoningsalt I think it would be a crazy amount of work, but making two videos on the same topic might be cool. One video using your usual formal and the other being the documentary style

Maybe unpopular opinion, but fuck yeah. Leak culture sucks. Let me be surprised by stuff again. The tiny serotonin boost we get from that leak article is nothing compared to the joy of being genuinely surprised in the moment when something is revealed.

"Imagine your sister" No.... Develop empathy without imagining her to be your sister or mom.... Develop basic humanity.....

"What if a drug addict used your tax dollars to get SNAP benefits?"

The government uses my tax dollars to bomb villages, arm warlords, fund coups, and trafficks children through proxy states. If a "junkie" eats because of me, that's the most moral thing my taxes have done.

Your annual reminder that “New Liberalism” is an astroturf project run by PPI, which is funded by ExxonMobil, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, Walmart and Amazon. They have little organic constituency and are the social media arm of a PR effort to repackage neoliberalism for zoomers

“I hate Valentine’s Day because I’m single, it’s so commercialized, blah blah blah”
Skill issue.
Celebrate your friends. Bring your coworkers treats. Call your mom. Cook for yourself. Quit undervaluing platonic love and then wondering why you don’t have more of it in your life.

Hunter Biden really is the most ethical degenerate ever. No Epstein Pedo shit, Hunter simply just enjoys getting blazed out of his mind with consenting Latina sex workers of age. He’s a proper American Freak, a man of the people honestly.

I do think the loss (and subsequently the decrease) of the working class in fashion and the arts in general has taken away a love for refining one’s craft. What’s the point of learning when you have all the money in the world to just buy your way in?

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

As @davideagleman points out brain longevity is not a function of doing crossword puzzles if you’re good at them and enjoy them. It’s the friction of mental effort that (in combination with focus & post learning sleep) drives plasticity.

@Petitsweettreat I've seen all the YouTube ones

[scarlett🪾 @lettpoupette]

you might think everyone is unfathomably evil when you spend a lot of time online. then you go outside and meet normal, sweet, well-adjusted people, and realise the quiet truth we don’t like to say out loud: nobody who’s well-adjusted spends much time online.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Noteworthy that neither the mayor of Minneapolis nor the governor of Minnesota threw their support behind this action prior to today. Dem leadership in the state just sat around and watched this unfolded then some, like Mayor Frey rushed to join the photo-ops once it was underway

10 years ago if I needed to find an individual who provided a specific or niche service, I could just Google it and find someone's dopey little personal website and I'd give them a call.

Now for every niche service there's 5 different aggregate websites with accompanying app I have to sign up for and log-in to and verify my e-mail with and receive a text code and fill out a 10 minute form about what I'm looking for specifically and I have to use their cursed little in-app chat to contact anyone and the demonic website/app ends up taking 25% commission every time I book someone and all the top matches are not individuals anyway but organizations where THEY have their own fucking system for soullessly matching me with one of their employees and they'll endlessly text me trying to convince me that they're the perfect fit for me if I'm looking for a DIFFERENT service I didn't ask for in the fucking 10 minute form THEY asked me to fill out! And all I get out of this whole tired ordeal is more spam in my inbox.

Even if I find names of people I want to contact on these sinful websites and then I Google them to reach out personally I end up finding nothing but their 17 OTHER listings on competing aggregate apps and/or their linkedin which I have to fucking personally deliver a vial of my DNA to some OTHER data company in order to verify my identity to and I'm just... so over all this.

I used to keep track of all of my log-ins and services I gave my personal data to and I simply cannot anymore. It's a deluge, a blight! I feel so stripped bare of my humanity and anytime I forget where I put my wallet when I'm leaving the house I think about how many hard drives in the world contain the supposedly private information I have so innocently and absentmindedly misplaced.

My body, my mind, and my spirit were not built for this! The days where technology was a tool with which to create for and connect to other humans are slipping away from me! For every phone call that is answered by a machine and every simple tool or device or appliance that I have to "register" to my phone app I lose precious, beautiful seconds of my one and only fleeting life! For every pin number, code, and login I must retain in my mind, a wisp of my soul is displaced to make room!

Humanity is so wonderful, so rich and so pure, it is no wonder that these things which lack it so desperately and aggressively try to steal it!
